1	Postmodernization: A phase we are going through? Management in social care. Lawler, John A., Harlow, Elizabeth January 2005 (has links) No / This paper considers the challenges facing managers of social care services in public sector organizations in the UK. Some theorists might argue that these challenges are the manifestation of a new postmodern era. It is argued here, however, that society is not fully postmodern: indeed modernity continues with some of its features (such as a concern with rationality and reason) heightened and intensified. Social trends associated with this transitional phase of postmodernization have been highlighted in the literature and here they form the framework for discussing social care management today.

2	Is Taiwan Ready for Post-modernism? A Comparative Study between Sweden and Taiwan. Unal, Baris 05 July 2010 (has links) This study examines changes in culture, economics and politics in Taiwan. Ronald Inglehart suggests that culture, economics and politics are mutually connected and these dynamics shape each other over time. Richard Florida argues that the driving force behind the transformation of a society¡¦s lifestyles, worldview and values is the rise of human creativity. In order to observe the changes over time, Inglehart and his colleagues have been collecting data through questionnaires (World Values Survey) in countries around the world. The purpose of this study is to measure and interpret the recent changes in Taiwan. Data collected from Taiwan is compiled in a unique database for analysis. This paper discusses the findings from this analysis and interprets the direction of change brought by intergenerational change. In addition, a cross-cultural analysis between Sweden and Taiwan is performed using the latest data collected from the two countries. Results suggest that Taiwan¡¦s shift is in the direction of Postmodernity. In addition, younger people are found to be more tolerant against different groups of people compared to the older generation. post-modernism postmodernism post-modern personal values postmodern postmodernity postmaterialist postmodernization values Taiwan Sweden world values survey modern modernization materialist
3	Ungdomars syn på framtiden : en värderingsstudie Lіndgrеn Ödẻn, Віrgіt January 2002 (has links) Hur ser ungdomar på framtiden? Vilka drömmar finns och hur ska de förverkligas? Med denna undersökning vill jag ta reda på vilka värderingar ungdomar har idag. För att finna svar har sextio ungdomar deltagit i en enkätundersökning. Av dessa ungdomar har jag valt att intervjua sex personer med olika värderingar. Ronald Ingleharts teori om materialism/postmaterialism har använts som analysinstrument. Jag har också jämfört mina slutsatser med liknande undersökningar. Huvudresultatet av denna studie är att ungdomar har en stark framtidstro när det gäller den egna personen. I större sammanhang är de mer pessimistiska. Ungdomar upplever att den individuella prestationen är helt avgörande för den egna framgången, de känner också oro över ett eventuellt misslyckande. Undersökningen visar också att det finns både materialistiska och postmaterialistiska värderingar i den unga generationen. values modernization postmodernization materialism postmaterialism youth alternation of generations värderingar attityder värderingsförändringar ungdomar ungdomsforskning postmaterialism religionsämnet etik religionsdidaktik Religion/Theology Religionsvetenskap/Teologi Sociology of religion Religionssociologi HUMANITIES and RELIGION HUMANIORA och RELIGIONSVETENSKAP
